NetWorks v1.0 ProTALK v2.1

|
Welcome to NetWorks, a networking environment for ProTALK! NetWorks supports
|
|
the following features...
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Networking Message Bases
|
|
o Networking Mail
|
|
o Security Modes
|
|
o Checking Modes
|
|
o Macro Functions (v1.1)
|
|
o Configurable Networking Message Bases
|
|
o Many, many, many more features!
|
|
|
|
NetWorks is constantly expanding, I am already planning regional centers if
|
|
the needs demand, which would mean the NetWork Bases would expand and you
|
|
could find possibly a closer NetWork Base or be a NetWork Base yourself!
|
|
|
|
NetWorks is simple to configure, you must first call The Apple Rebel BBS and
|
|
recieve a net password and message number. Please leave mail to user #4
|
|
once you have been validated on The Apple Rebel BBS stating you would like
|
|
to participate in the network, with a voice number I can reach you at. I
|
|
will discuss terms of service (no costs), and give you a network password,
|
|
message number, and board names in the network, you may of course choose
|
|
which ones you desire.
|
|
|
|
After these two things have been recieved, run the program NET.CONFIG from
|
|
the SYSTEM LEVEL [(B)ridge Segments], and answer all online prompts to the
|
|
best of your abilities. When it is finished configuring, hit CONTROL_RESET
|
|
and reboot the board. Networking is now installed, it is all automatic and
|
|
you don't need to do much!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notice how I said MUCH. There is one thing you will be required to do. That
|
|
is forward any mail sent to you. The problems I discovered was that I could
|
|
not obviously mantain a global NetWork user listing, as replicates would
|
|
start to appear! Instead, the name of the user is entered. The Networked
|
|
mail is sent, if that user does NOT exist on your board, the mail is sent
|
|
to you. The mistake may be due to a typo. If the user still does not exist
|
|
on your board, merely delete the message. Otherwise you will have to <F>or-
|
|
ward your mail towards the correct user.
|
|
|
|
You are also strongly urged (eg, required) to call the Apple Rebel BBS for
|
|
updates to the segment. For the next few weeks, updates will be quite
|
|
regular, as there may be bugs, or enhancements to be made (such as a full
|
|
macro-type language to allow scripts), and this is the only BBS these will
|
|
become available.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for participating in the network, and I hope your users enjoy it!

IMPORTANT UPDATE
|
|
_____________________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
|
|
NetWorks has now evolved, I am currently writing a daisy chain/tree structure
|
|
network, at the suggestion and with the help of Ram Chip. There will be an
|
|
update to the network, only available at the Apple Rebel BBS. If you wish
|
|
this update, please call the Apple Rebel BBS @ 916/457-0624. Thanks for your
|
|
support....
